I'm trying out the demo version of Acid 3 pro. I would like to hear a internally generated click track (from the PC) against playback.
How is this done? It seems like such an feature should be REAL obvious for a looping program. But when I do a search in the HELP files under click track or metronome..nada!
Thanks! Dennis

I'm guessing the idea is that since ACID is beat-based already, a metronome isn't necessary. If you have snapping enabled, all your loops will line up with the beats.

If you really want a metronome just add a 4/4 kick drum loop to your track. Also, I know that I've seen a couple free metronomes for download on the web. I can't remember where, but I'll try to find them again.

Well... Acid Pro (not sure if the other versions do or not) allows you to record into it. To record accurately you'd need a click. At least it seems like such a simple thing that I can't imagine it would be overlooked.
But you're right. I could just "import" a click sample.
When you bring in a long file the BEATMAPPER preview the detected bpm with the use of a click playing along with the loop.
So I thought it was something really simply that I was missing.

Thanks - Dennis
